      I've had a lot on my mind regarding movie conversations lately, chiefly the difference of "Text" vs. "Texture" - and I think I've unpacked a whole bunch of stuff in my latest column. Cheers :)http://observer.com/2018/05/the-two-crucial-filmmaking-elements-causing-all-your-movie-feuds/ …

      I've been lurk reading for a long time. You're always thoughtful, but I have to admit your stark dislike for indulgence has always had me a little squirmy. And comparing your friend's experiential watching of a J.J. Abrams flick as like addiction has me here at last. Hi! 1/?

      I want to talk about different ways of watching movies. I think I understand why what you see as indulgence or pure texture is troubling to you - that giving the audiences what they think they want instead of what they need can lead to entitled comfort instead of growth. Etc. 2/?

      Once upon a time, I was a young person. I saw a flick called Treasure Planet. And there was one moment, oh, it was pure texture, pure late-90s/early 00s texture. It was a little mini-music video for the Goo Goo Dolls' I'm Still Here, and I sat there and felt this resonance. 3/?

      This crazy alienated resonance with this dumb space-skateboarding protagonist. And I went home and I wrote my first novel-length anything based on this spark of alienation. Heck, I'm currently writing a novel-length response to Ready Player One because I don't like it. Spark. 4/?

      Anyway. A lot of my generation grabs frames. Characters. Ideas. Sparks. We take the texture, we remix it, we interrogate it, we run wild. We take what delighted us and spin. And I like good story, too. But it troubles me to see delight in texture treated almost as diseased. 5/6

      I know you want to make movies better. I know you want folk to think hard about movies. I dabble in criticism myself. I love it. But you're very harsh on these audiences sometimes. Audiences aren't all one thing. Resonance can't only come from one kind of place. That's all. 6/6.

      I'm hard on it in a way, but I do want to clarify the caveat. I wrote about this when talking about the extreme end of indulgence (pornogaphy). There is nothing wrong with indulgence if it comes with true awareness. The main thing I'm hitting at is the lack of awareness.

          It's always an uneasy balance for me. I may not get something out of a movie someone else does, and vice versa. Will never argue critical thinking about what we consume ain't important, though.
